Hi Chris,

You've got a current leak. Try disconnecting the alternator overnight and
see if that helps. If not, disconnect one battery terminal and put a
multimeter (set to milliamps) between that battery terminal and its clamp
connector (leave the other side of the battery connected.) You should see a
reading. Now start disconnecting fuses, accessories, everything, one at a
time until the reading drops. Voila, you have found the current leak. It is
usually something that has been added or changed --  external stereo amp,
other stereo bits, ignition mods, etc.

Other thing is to try putting some thick rubber under your battery.

good luck! derek
